We went with Sandy to check out how our garden is growing. The corn was huge and the artichokes were mosters. Can you see us hiding? Sandy is helping us roast the artichokes and we will taste them next lunch time.

During our evaluations on Friday were were also wondering about the Northern Lights. Josh came to school and wanted to find out about them. Here are a few links for you to investigate for yourselves...

Aurora Australis ("Southern Lights"), just like the Aurora Borealis ("Northern Lights"), is caused by charged particles from the sun becoming trapped and accelerated in the Earth's magnetic field, which creates the ethereal glow of the auroras.

Today during writing the Time Team went to a different country to see how Pre-historic Man recorded their stories and memories in art. Take a look at the cave yourself and then read our favourite sentences from our 10 minute writing.

Lascaux CaveWe will add our writing here:Scary blackness inside as we are exploring through the cave of darkness. RiporaIt feels like I have been eaten by a monster in the dark cave. JessIt's like I'm in a dead skeleton body. LachlanI can hear the stags running through my mind. ChloeThe big bison killed a man.
